Try looking at my other posts before you make generalizations. For a couple years I lived just outside Portland, Maine and frequently went to Boston because my ex lived there. I also played on a hockey team in Ct, and we were in Boston every other weekend playing teams in the suburbs of Boston. I've been to the DC suburbs many times because I played against the Ice hockey teams there. Same goes for Philadelphia.
The only suburbs I've never been to are in CA and TX.
Ever been to burbs of Chicago, Atlanta, Miami, Denver, St Louis, Detroit, or Seattle?
So who here as actually spent a reasonable amount of time in suburbs of all of the following metro areas? (I sure haven't.)
1. NYC
2. LA
3. Chicago
4. Dallas
5. Philly
6. Houston
7. Miami
8. Atlanta
9. Boston
10. Detroit
If you haven't, I'd argue that you have insufficient data to make an informed comment. (Not that being uninformed has ever stopped anyone from giving their authoritative opinion.)
Ny by far. I wouldn't live in the suburbs in any other city.

So true!
Of those cities, Ive spent time in the LA, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, and Atlanta suburbs. The Dallas, Houston, and Atlanta suburbs are virtually identical and they are nice. Chicago suburbs arent that different either. LA's suburbs are the best IMO (but I am biased since Im from there).

90% of the people who post on this site make generalizations about places, most have no idea what they are talking about.
I grew up in the Chicago burbs, Currently live in DC and work in NoVa, My GF grew up in Dedham, Ma and I know the NYC and LA suburbs somewhat, I consider myself pretty well traveled and dont know most of the metro area in this country, and I doubt there are many here who do.

Actually,the topography of the land is much different.Houston is flat.Atlanta (due to it being in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains)is very hilly and dense with trees.Although as far as housing is concerned they tend to be very similar.Also their are so many suburbs in Atlanta,that there is a different feel from "burb" to "burb".Most of the time not drastic,but their is a difference.I think Atlanta's metro area is the largest in North America with 28 counties.

I should have been more specific. I was talking in terms of ammenities and lifestyle. Topographically, I know they are different.
28 counties??? Wow, I didnt know that. The Atlanta MSA is slightly smaller than DFW and the Houston MSA's.
